What is the 'Magnificat?'

The 'magnificat' is the name that we give to Mary's song in Luke 1, in which she declares that her soul 'magnifies the Lord.' In today's study, we will see that this is one of the most counter-cultural songs ever written.

Questions That We'll Answer:

1) What news did the Angel give Mary? What was her response?

2) Why was it necessary that the Messiah be born of a 'virgin?'

3) What makes the 'magnificat' so counter-cultural?

Surprising. Shocking. Scandalous.

Jews and Samaritans were NOT supposed to interact. Their mutual hatred went back generations. And yet, here Jesus was, not only talking with this woman in John 4 - but asking her for water. What was this encounter all about?

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) What was the history of the Samaritans? Who were they?

B) What had the woman done to be ostracized by her own people?

C) What did Jesus tell the woman - and why was it so encouraging?

John: The Woman At The Well

To Nicodemus, it seemed like crazy talk.

But to Jesus, this was serious business. If God's people are to be saved, we must first be 'born again.' So what does that term mean? And how does it happen? In today's study, we'll dive into the critical topic of regeneration.

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) Who was Nicodemus, and why did he go to Jesus?

B) Why did Jesus say Nicodemus must be 'born again?'

C) What are the implications for the rest of us?

John: What It Means To Be Born Again

It wasn't just a miracle - it was a sign.

In John 2, Jesus attended a wedding. And at this wedding He performed His first recorded miracle (turning water into wine). So, what was this miracle really about? As we'll see, it pointed forward to the cross - even if no one knew it at the time.

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) Why did Jesus tell Mary that His 'hour had not come?'

B) In what way(s) did this miracle point forward to Calvary?

C) How is John 2 a bookend with John 19?
